The I Escaped Series: The World's Favorite Escapes

Three friends battle stormy weather and a hungry Komodo dragon when they're trapped overnight atop a barren rock.

From bestselling authors Ellie Crowe and Scott Peters comes a gripping tale of survival for young readers.

On a stormy night in Indonesia, American teenagers Jake and Tay and their local dive guide find themselves in a harrowing predicament. High on a rock in the ocean, they huddle together as the wind howls and the rain pours down. Below them, lurking in the water, a hungry Komodo dragon waits.

Jake and Tay's dive guide may know a lot about dragons, but right now, all three are just scared teenagers. With no way to call for help and the relentless rainstorm making their situation worse, survival seems like a distant hope. Will they make it through the night and out of this dangerous encounter with the cunning reptile?
